After spending 3 weeks in Madison including before Wicket's puppies were born and then by the time they were 12 days old, it was time to go back to our home in Door County reuniting with Maddie and Allie. It felt fabulous to be home. And we had adventures on the way! Here are 3 puppies climbing out of the heated box Bruce had in his car on the way to Lomira to visit Dr. Greer. Yes, he was careful with the electrical cord so all puppies were safe! We had not experienced them climbing out of this styrofoam cooler until we were on the road, of course.
When we got to Dr. Greer's, she removed Wickie's stitches from her C-section and then drew blood from all the puppies for our breed's Glanzman's test. Since Wicket is a carrier for this bleeding disorder, we need to know which puppies will be carriers and which will be clear. None of them will be affected since we carefully bred Wicket to a clear. Now we are hoping for most of them to have their father's blood!
We told Dr. Greer that feeding 12 puppies has been challenging for Wicket since there are so many so she made a suggestion that we try adding puppy mousse to their diet.

Judging by the clean plate club we had here, the puppies seemed to like their mousse! Needless to say Wickie loves to clean up after them now that we have made this a part of their daily diet.
